2024 Flying Childers Stakes Preview

Big Mojo is the favourite for the 2024 Flying Childers Stakes, trading on his Group 3 Molecomb Stakes win at Glorious Goodwood in July. However, his 4th place finish last time out has stopped his odds edging too low. At 11/4 he’s fair value.

Next in the betting at 3/1 is Magnum Force who was second in a Listed race last time out. He’s got a knack for placing, but offers little value in this department at his price.

Aestarius looks the strongest of the horses priced over the 4/1 margin. He won a Group 3 in France last time out, has won another Listed race, and beat Big Mojo at Goodwood when finishing second in the Molecomb Stakes.

About the Flying Childers Stakes

Named after the famous 18th century racehorse of the same name, the Flying Childers Stakes was first run in 1967 as the Norfolk Stakes. It was rated as a Group 1 race for 6 years before being demoted in status in 1979. The race is one of the premier sprint events run at the annual St. Leger Festival.

Betting on the Flying Childer Stakes

Despite being a sprint for juveniles, the Flying Childers Stakes rarely produces major upsets. Favourites win on a regular basis, and it’s unusual to see a horse priced over 10/1 win the race. Favourites are rarely priced high enough to justify the risk of going all-in on the win, which means the best strategy for this race is to focus on finding an each-way option priced 5/1 to 10/1.
